I haven't had Trolli gummys in at least 15 years. I never cared for them, I always thought they had an aftertaste, bad texture, and a greasy oily coating you sometimes find on lower quality gummys to keep them from sticking together. That being said, I saw the Big Bold Bears at Walmart last night and decided to give Trolli another try. I've been counting calories and I find that the larger sized items are a better choice. It's easy to portion the serving size, 4 big bears, instead of counting out 30+ of the traditional sized gummys. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with this product. It definitely doesn't hold a candle to any of my favorites, but the flavors are quite nice, they were not overly intense. There are six flavors: Apple, Lemon Lime, Blue Raspberry, Cherry, Orange, and Grape. The Lemon Lime tasted more like a very sugary Lime, but unlike many Lime flavored gummys, they don't taste like cleaner. The Blue Raspberry has a tropical undertone which I like, I usually pass on Blue Raspberry flavors since they are generally overly sweet. The Orange has a nice zest to it also. On the other side, I felt that the Cherry was a bit weak and the Grape was my least favorite, tasting like flat and warm grape soda. These were very chewy and much softer then the Haribo gummys I am used to. The package indicates they are 4x larger then the regular Trolli gummys, they measure about 1 inch wide, 1.5 inches tall, and .5 inches thick. I didn't notice a greasy coating on these either. Overall, I think this are a nice option, but I wouldn't necessarily seek them out.
--------------------------------------------------
Texture: These are very chewy and soft.
Flavors: There are six flavors: Apple, Lemon Lime, Blue Raspberry, Cherry, Orange, and Grape. The flavors are decent, but I didn't care for the Grape and the Cherry was kind of weak and bland. I thought the flavors were less then bold, much lighter in flavor then I remember from Trolli product, but I preferred it that way.
Cost: $1.97 for a 8oz bag at Walmart.
Availability: Trolli products can usually be found in most convenience stores in this area.
